Listening to a Termination by Iron Butterfly...excellent tune. Oh boy, if we could have in Quad!

Ha ha. The USB song shuffle in my car played that the other day. Also recently heard some songs from the "Heavy" album and "Ball". I love those first three I.B. albums. I agree they need to have Quad mixes, if not 5.1. Can you imagine what could be done with the drum solo from "Vida" in surround !!!! :cool:

I'm really bummed that the Velvet Underground - LOADED box set is...well...just that. I had pre-ordered it early on from Amazon...which means I automatically got an AutoRip version to listen to at my leisure....which I did...and I still do often. I ended up canceling the order as I deemed it just way too high priced. In the meantime, I really do enjoy the music and would KILL to hear some form of it in surround. I just cannot justify ~$70 for all those CD's and the single disc I really want...the surround. UGH.....
 
And one more thing...I'm not sure about all you "guys" not from the US...but this damn GEICO commercial with the band EUROPE simply cracks me up...every time I see it. I just love that raised eyebrow at the end....hilarious....

I'm about as tired of the ad as I'm tired of the song, and frankly, I hope I never hear it again (or if I do it had better be in surround) ;)

hahaha - not me man. I live for those GEICO commercials. I must have a warped sense of humor....used to love those Caveman commercials...jeez....
 
Has anyone commented on this soundtrack SACD which is apparently coming out soon? I assume it's stereo only...??

Indeed, Stereo only.

Since we're asking about soundtracks from a while back, can anyone tell me if this is worth picking up?

Regarding Suite Judy Blue Eyes, aka Judy Collins, she is as kind and sweet as she is beautiful. In the mid-90's, my Son, Daughter and I were at an appearance of hers. My Daughter was eight at that point. In between songs, Judy asked her if she played piano. My Daughter nodded "yes." So, Judy invited her to sit at the piano as she played. My Daughter was terrified that she'd be asked to play. No worries, Judy didn't ask her to play.

Sadly, I have no photo record of this, since it predates phone cameras by several years. I do have some autographed discs, though.

A WONDERFUL memory of a beautiful person, inside and out.

That's a beautiful story...thanks for sharing...Judy Collins has had some drama in her life...polio at age 11...tuberculosis later in life... alcohol addiction(sober since 1978)...bouts of depression... especially since her only child committed suicide at the age of 33...she has survived a lot and now at 76 is still active...

Got my copy of Velvet Underground (Banana). I'll cut right to the chase. It sounds like ****. Could it be better than CD's out there? I don't know...but minus all that knowledge - it sounds thin, compressed and raspy. Disaster....

That being said..I love the music and am pleased to have this disc...won't be turning it up anytime soon though. :)

I'm not surprised...and I'm skeptical about "loaded"...I too like the music....but the sound quality is a concern for me...

That's pretty much what the mono vinyl copy I have sounds like. Can't turn it up.

But for some reason I'd love to hear a quad mix of this. Done back during the same period. And on the same drugs. :D

Huh...well..luckily the music is super. Sounds super dated...but I love the tunes. Heroin is just killer...lyrics includid in the blu-ray audio...great stuff.
